Sprung base and drawers
Our new bed has bottom drawers which doesn't allow for the box spring or we would be 5 feet up in the air just to get into bed.
So we placed plywood between the wooden bed slats and our new super comfy $1,400 Spring Air mattress.
Now it is not comfy AT ALL and I can't sleep on it more than 2 hours at a time.
Looking for an alternative to the plywood that would be softer and allow the mattress to feel like it did at the store when we bought it when it was on the matching box springs.
Perhaps there is a very thin box spring or other material to replace the plywood.
We have 30 days to return the mattress but would like to keep it if possible.
Thanks, Scotty
Hi Scotty, Your comment has me somewhat confused.
Please, can you confirm if you bought the base separate to the mattress or were bought together?
If together, what advice was given by the seller regarding the firmness of the mattress when placed on slats?
Are the slats curved or just flat and if flat, I cannot see that, the addition of plywood or any other material of a solid nature, would influence the comfort in the way you have described.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards.
